    I'm glad that you finally learned your lesson. You should have listened to Phil and slim from the beginning. Never listen to Fauci again.

    It looks like Canada's healthcare system isn't up to the challenge. They are rationing care and letting folks suffer and in some cases, die!!!




    Why Canada's hospital capacity was so easily overwhelmed by the COVID pandemic
    For two years, COVID-19 has been highlighting a crisis of Canadian hospital capacity that has been limping along for decades




    According to a new poll by Maru Public Opinion, more than 42 per cent of Canadians believe their local hospital is so overwhelmed that they don’t trust it to take care of them if they suddenly needed medical care. One third of Canadians, meanwhile, have someone in their inner circle for whom that is literally the case: They had treatment for a “serious medical issue” postponed because hospitals were too busy with COVID-19.


    Canadian hospitals, particularly in Quebec and Ontario, are currently being pushed to the breaking point by the effects of the Omicron variant. One of the most surprising things about the crisis, however, is how little it took to get here. Ontario is a province of 14.5 million people, and as of last Thursday it only took 3,630 people hospitalized with COVID-19 to plunge the province into one of the world’s strictest lockdowns.


    Canada has fewer intensive care beds than almost anyone else in the developed world

    The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international body roughly comprising all the world’s developed liberal democracies. When ranked against its OECD contemporaries, Canada currently comes fourth last in terms of intensive care beds available per capita (only Chile, Sweden and Colombia ranked lower). Canada had just 1.97 ICU beds for every 100,000 residents. The top-ranked country, Japan, had 7.74 beds per 100,000.


    A 2017 OECD ranking also found that Canada was one of the countries least likely to have an acute care bed available for use. Even before COVID-19, 91.6 per cent of Canadian acute care beds already had someone in them, a rate that was worse only in Israel and Ireland. In the U.S., average occupancy rate on acute care beds was just 64 per cent. In the U.K. it was 84.3 per cent.










    That's socialized medicine for you folks. Just say no.

    Before COVID closed borders and shutdown most elective surgery everywhere, Canadians used to come to the US to avoid having to wait months sometimes even years to get an appointment with a surgeon.

    ...


    Canada's single-payer healthcare system forced over 1 million patients to wait for necessary medical treatments last year. That's an all-time record.


    Those long wait times were more than just a nuisance; they cost patients $1.9 billion in lost wages, according to a new report by the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver-based think-tank.


    Lengthy treatment delays are the norm in Canada and other single-payer nations, which ration care to keep costs down. Yet more and more Democratic leaders are pushing for a single-payer system -- and more and more voters are clamoring for one.

    I'm glad I didn't.. especially since Omnicron is nothing more than a cold, but the MSM fear factory is still in high gear.

    ... for a likely immuno-compromised person, that is very dangerous thinking.

    Omicron is way more than a bad cold.

    It wouldn't matter if covid was killing one out of every two people he is so entrenched it wouldn't make a difference in his choice.

    Not according to world wide doctors.
    And my diabetes is gone..
    Like you ever gave a fuck about my health.
    In fact your FL buttbuddy stated that I should die from Omnicron.
